India Mill Chimney, Darwen India Mill was owned by Shorrocks Brothers and the chimney was built to resemble an Italian bell tower and stands at 303 feet tall and is 24 feet square. Completed in 1867 it was designed by E.Bates of Manchester and built by B. Lloyd of Darwen. It’s claimed that the foundation stone it rests on was one of the biggest ever quarried in Britain. The chimney is built from red handmade bricks, and there are layered decorative bands of blue and yellow brick on the way up. Towards the top some of the bricks have been arranged in a diamond style. The blocked up windows have led to the local myth that there are stairs inside, but these are just for decorative effect. Italian bell towers have similar shaped windows, and the arches at the very top are reminiscent of those at St Mark’s campanile, Venice.
